This amouns increases in the sophie

cost of chemicals used by each student

This expense, it viii be seen, is in

ings of the students by labor on the

this sum of Sl24.l0 has been reduced by

A Benighted Brother.

We scarcely expect to meet with fair
treatment at the hands of the editor of
the Crystal Springs Meteor, who penned
the following paragraph. In reply to it
we print an editorial from the Memphis
Avalanche, which has been copied APP
provingly by more than one Mississippi
paper. The Meteor may not think the
criticism harsh, and it may think it is
deserved, but it surely is not creature
of our Imagination:
The Jackson Clarion in its last issue 'strains al
gnat and swallows elephant" 1t says that oul
State officials are being slandsred. This is mis-
take, unless TO ignore them is TO Islander them A
matter of fact, we have never seen harsh crit
eism of any of State officials, with the possible
exception of Gov. Lowry. The Clarion is fighting
an imaginary foe-making gallant charge in al
open field:
Thou mindest me OF gentle folks
Old gentle folks are they
Thou sayest an undisputed thing
In such a solemn way"

Many others have reduced TINS eA-
pense account by their labor, from Sl5 TO
S25 each; and many more would have
made similar reductions but &c: want OF
the means to pay for their labor. 1t
will be noted that the cost of board Is
put at IS per month, little higher than
the average cost for the last session
which was only $40 per month. This
board is of excellent quality.
We have seen what the personal cost
of each scholar is to be, paid out OF hi:
own resources. We now show what
each student cost the State for the las
year. The appropriation for the tive
last years, as before shown, was SOS, S57
One-half of this, to be charged for las
year. is $29, 1913. The attendance fo
the present year was 276, making ex
penditures from the State and Lane
Frnd, together, $l0S.45 for each atten
dant Out of this fund was paid to tn
students for labor, the sum of SO, 1851
which sum goes to decrease the sun
necessary to be furnished by the student
earning the same. The whole cost o
each student, exclusive of earning b,
labor, is thus shown to be as follows:

has already reclaimed several hundred
acres of its own farm; and this has been
an example to others.
1t will be remembered that the last
Congress donated $4,000 per annum,
to each State, for the establishment of
an Agricultural Experiment Station in
connection with the Agricultural Col
lege of the State In States having two
colleges, the fund is to be divided, I'M
less the Legislature shall direct that all
of it go to one. Ae most of this money
mus. necessarily be employed in paying
scientific men to aid in making these
experiments, and as these expert
ments are in the highest degree edu-
cational, we respectfully urge that the
equipments of this College, in scientific
Professors and the necessary apparatus
for experiments, and, also, in skilled
labor, would make it to the best interest
of the State that the whole fund should
be expended here. a careful inyestiga-
ton of the subject authorizes US to say
that division of the fund would about
make the whole of it useless.
The money cannot now be drawn, ow-
ing to the failure of an appropriation
bill. But that it will be regularly ap-
propriated hereafter there can be no
doubt. As this appropriation may be
made before the next annual meeting of
this Board, we have made such provis-
ion as Is necessary to commence the
work, in the event the money is forth
coming and the Legislature shall assign
it to the A. and NJ. College. This sum
will greatly increase the usefulness of
the College; but it cannot be used to
decrease its expense. Possibly we may
be enabled to give aid to meritorious
students without means, In employing
them in the necessary labor in making
experiments. 1t will be necessary for
the Legislature to pass an act accepting
the donation on the terms proposed in
the law, and authorizing its expenditure
by the Board of Trustees. We regard
this appropriation as great boon to the
agricultural interests of the State, and.
30 far as we are able, we will see that It
shall be expended so as to produce the
greatest benefits to our people.
In conclusion, we desire to say that
we al attended the last Commencement
